My husband has SAD (social anxiety disorder) complicated by OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder). If your wondering if he is a chronic handwasher or something let me tell you after 12 years of marriage OCD takes many forms his usually goes into organizing. Ever since he started to be normal (2 years ago he quit self medicating through drug abuse and hit the Paxil). He has changed, he is stronger, believes a little less he is superman, and only slightly overextends himself. He has had a hard time keeping jobs though (he lost a job of 7 years when he quit the deprieciating pleasing of the boss) and now lost a job of 1 year cause he refused to bow down and thank the man for the job everyday(this company was a little sad anyway, a secretary called one day and to say I have heard less profanity from a truck driver would be a lie). So here he is jobless. Another crick in the road. And I am biting on the back of depression.
Afraid I suffer from a mild case of the high and lows of manic depression every crick in our road expecially since our sobriety (2 years no drugs GOOD 4 US!). We are still fighting with our old landlords because they would not get the birds out of the ceiling (I MEAN THE CEILING, sounded like they were coming in) it paralyzes me to deal with them. No lawyer will take the case cause it just not worth thier time and how would we pay for it now. It makes me feel woozy. I get nuts. Unable to move from the bed for days, then cleaning and dieting like a maniac. How do I make the outer world understand without the stigma. I tried to talk to my hubby about it, but he has enough problems.
Arrgh!!!!!!!!!!
